While UF was not able to once again reclaim its spot as the highest-ranked university in Florida, it is now ranked 49th, in a tie with Northeastern University and the University of California at Irvine. It was ranked 54th last year. UF is additionally ranked the 14th best public university in the nation.

Miami came in 47th. It's tied with Yeshiva University in New York. The school's drop from last year is explained at least in part by the fact that six separate schools are tied for the 41st spot just ahead of it. The school is down from 44th last year.
